Starting point is 00:00:00 We interrupt this program. Previously, critics had brailed against the duo as crude, dumb, ugly, thoughtless, sexist, self-destructive, and foolish. They are not part of the legitimate business world. What they do is they celebrate underachievement. And all candor, I would tell you it's outrageous, Phil. And if I could find somewhere constitutionally to do away with it, I would. You snowy dumb-doms. Oh, holy.
Starting point is 00:00:44 Happy holidays. Did not expect one of my worst commutes of the year to happen on April 7th. Bro. Merry Christmas, everybody. Remember bells keep ringing. Happy holiday. What a night it's going to be for. We got snow.
Starting point is 00:01:08 Wow. Gosh, it's not going to help for the radio or Twitch. But look straight ahead. Look how gorgeous the lights look. Oh, they're beautiful on the trees. The snow on the trees downtown. They're beautiful on the trees. As a matter of fact.
Starting point is 00:01:23 Oh, man. My heart's full. Tonight's Wegman's lifetime. I'm going to do something really, I'm going to make a lot of people angry. Right now. I'm going to ruin it for you now. Look at this. It's April and I ruined it for you.
Starting point is 00:01:42 Oh, all right. The weather outside is frightful. Oh, different song. Yeah, it really? I think it's a moot. Still, I mean, big fat flakes on 690 this morning, and I'll tell you that much.
Starting point is 00:02:20 You could very easily find out who to blame this on right inside of my folder inside of promos where the one labeled a very easy way to find out who jinxed this. I'm what you're talking about. Yeah. I don't think you know exactly what it is I'm talking about. The weather outside being frightful.
Starting point is 00:02:43 Oh, would you break? I'm going to see if this is what I think it is. Oh. Let me see. Oh, is it? Let me see who we can blame here. Hold on a second. A promo for the show is incoming.
Starting point is 00:02:58 Don't you wish your radio had one of those skis, skis, skip, skip buttons. You get today and tomorrow, we're moving on. We're moving on. It's snowing in Richfield. It's snowing in a bunch of places right now. We've got to think that literally in a month, it's going to be May. That's not bad, ma' time's no more. No.
Starting point is 00:03:15 We're like, okay, it could be 70. One thing, and I know you're saying I jinxed it. That's fine. You guys can yell me. I put my snow brush away over the weekend to double jinx it. So now it's no jinx. Double jinx, no jinx. Double jinx, no jinx.
Starting point is 00:03:27 That's going to. Remember, all right, everybody tomorrow morning, when he's in here, cranky as hell, nobody is allowed to feel bad for him because he didn't have a snow brush to brush off his car tomorrow when there's at least two to three inches of snow on his car. Not that much. Everybody remember this.
Starting point is 00:03:45 That'll be fun. You guys can all be mad at me. Yeah. So you can be mad at me today. I told you that took the snowbrush out. You did. It wasn't accumulating. It was just really thick, flaky, flick flex.
Starting point is 00:03:59 Well, this was weird. I had a little, little bit where I didn't need my snowbrush. I just started my car. And in that 15 minutes, it made it fine. But then the second I dropped off Elsa. It was that Star Wars Drive, man. You can't see anything. It was like, oh my God.
Starting point is 00:04:15 I'm glad I've. been doing this drive for literally 40 years. Because that was a legit whiteout. Yeah, it was like the worst of the year. But I think it cleared out. Like, I think it was just us that got screwed because now it's clear. You know, it's gone.
Starting point is 00:04:28 Now it's gone. But if you were driving between 5 and 6 a.m. this morning, it was probably the worst white out of the year. Or if you're, if it's headed that way to like, you know, Utica and all that, don't worry. It's gone in like five minutes. Yeah. Just chill out of the can.
Starting point is 00:04:43 Bear down for a sec. Hang out. Yeah. It was that Star Wars drive where I could not see anything. I could not see anything on the road. Do sometimes do you just flip on your high beams to see just how crazy it is? Yeah, because it's cool. Because it's the weirdest thing ever.
Starting point is 00:04:55 You're like, that doesn't make any sense. But then this morning I felt like I was hallucinating, like, because it was just nothing had any depth. Did that make any sense? No, it's nothing had depth. That's a real thing. And I was like, I can't, I don't know what I'm looking at right now. If you Google it, it's a real thing because that's another thing that happened to me on that stupid Vron drive where, all of a sudden, everything was the same distance.
Starting point is 00:05:18 So I didn't understand how to even go fast. Yeah. Like, my brain wasn't comprehending how to use the gas because I'm like, you're not moving anywhere. Yeah. It was, I know exactly what you're talking about. That's how it felt a little bit this morning. It's like snow blindness kind of, but different.
Starting point is 00:05:35 Yeah. There was a point on my drive this morning where a shadow from, while I was having no depth ability. Yeah. A shadow of like a telephone pole Looked like a telephone pole Was in the road So I was like, whoa, hold on, wait, and my brain couldn't
Starting point is 00:05:52 I didn't know if I was seeing something down in front of me Because you're trying so hard to concentrate On finding anything that once you do Yeah, it was weird It's a real thing Listen, I hope that you're all right this morning We're here Oh
Starting point is 00:06:05 Hello But if you do get hit with that snow It's the biggest, fatest flake you ever seen And it is not fun to drive through Big thick fruits It is a Tuesday. We will get into your high strangeness today. Oh.
Starting point is 00:06:17 We'll go down to West Virginia today for your high strangeness. Go, go, you going to get West Virginia. It's going to be kind of an alien, kind of a woods crypted kind of combo. It's over to the champions of Michigan for the first time in 37 years. The Wolverines win the national title. There it is, buddy. I'm not here to brag on behalf of my boy, Coco, but somebody won the work league.
Starting point is 00:06:50 I'm number one. You're the number one champion. And thanks to Highlander rules, I now am also a sports director of News Channel 9. Oh, yeah, because you beat Stephen Fonnie. That's just the rules. So, congratulations. I now co-host Orange Nation.
Starting point is 00:07:08 With Polly, though? Yeah, I'll just, he's not here most of the time. Yep. Oh, I didn't know we were going by Highland. rule. So you take over all of Stephen Fonte's roles. Okay. You take over the sports people's. All right. It's not like you do about it. You have a call.
Starting point is 00:07:23 Call over to News Channel 9 today. Let them know you're starting this afternoon. I would like to be in makeup by noon. Very nice. Thank you. Yukon 16. Michigan beat Yukon 69 to 63 last night. They tried. You stay up for the whole thing? Yeah, just because it was good. It got good a little bit later. Like every time you try to be like,
Starting point is 00:07:44 all right, I'm done. Because I forget their names, but man, let me find the refs' names so I could say them out loud and we can repeat them over and over again because they wanted to be front and goddamn center all night long because they wanted to dictate the entire game. If they wanted to just let this be a basketball game, Yukon won.
Starting point is 00:08:06 Really? You kind would have won this game. They had so many fouls. Both of them did. NCAA. game called rigged as fans slam riffs in Michigan Yukon game. Over it, over and over. Monday night.
Starting point is 00:08:24 Wolverines, I don't have any names here. The place or the Wolverines did not have to make in their shots. Free throw in line, I don't know. It keeps going on. I mean, the Wolverines weren't. They played a hell of a game. They didn't win, you know, solely based as well. They played really good. It's just the refs, man. Oh, my God. They were getting involved. As much as they could.
Starting point is 00:08:42 Lot of let them play. Let him play. Especially in the national championship game. Nobody is here to see you blow your whistle bud. Yeah. It was reminding me of the, you were seeing the Nick Kroll. Oh, I love Nick Kroll sketches.
Starting point is 00:08:57 Where he's the, the ref. Yep, yep, yeah. It was all of that. Like, I'm waiting for one of the refs to do, like, the back track. The back run, yep, yep. And then we're, Jordan Peele is, like, playing the other ref, and he's like, go save her. Go save her.
Starting point is 00:09:10 Anyways, that's a deep guy. Oh, foul. That's a deep guy, yeah. No, Han, you're good, you're good. No, I was, but I mean, other than that, it was a good game. Yeah, good. And I am, I mean, there were better national championship games, so I think people would dispute this,
Starting point is 00:09:25 but I'm putting this in a top, small handful, top five best March Madness. Really? I loved the earlier rounds that I were watching, yeah. Every round had, again, buzzer beaters, overtimes, close games. Oh, it was great. It's one of those where I'm going to be. sad on Saturday. Why? Why not sad today? Well, you're going to go and be like, all right, college basketball, what's the... No, no college basketball. Just all done. Don't worry, though, because three months of NBA playoffs start soon.
Starting point is 00:09:56 But because of that, now that we're done with the basketball season, the transfer portal is open. So I expect today we start seeing some news come out of Syracuse on who GMAC's going to bring in. I mean, as of right now, everybody. I think so. Yeah, right. Arunzea on Oahuacu has been named his coaching staff. I like him. I love Arendza. He was on the Siena staff, so he's coming with him from that. If he was healthy for that NCAA tournament, they might have been national champions.
Starting point is 00:10:23 Yeah. He was that dominant that year and so good for them that year that he got hurt that they probably would have been final four. And then I saw that Red's going to Virginia. Yep. Is that a good gig? Just an assistant coach gig in Virginia? I think so because he gets to go live in Virginia. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:39 Do what he's good at. Yeah. Hone his skills. Maybe. get another gig at some point. Who knows? But, I mean, just being in Virginia. Yeah, that's got to be sick. I'll take that. And he's
Starting point is 00:10:51 a good recruiter. Okay. So he can still recruit. I'm sure he'll steal a guy or two from Syracuse. So we'll see if we start to see movement today. If we start to see some players officially announced here coming to Syracuse. I know there's a few that we're waiting on. Trying to see if any of these names or anybody, because there are already
Starting point is 00:11:07 people in the transfer portal. Well, we're all waiting on where Gavin Dowdy's going. Gavin from Fulton. We all want to see if he's coming to Syracuse. I would think he is, but who knows? I am going to say it's a 99.99.999. You would enter the transfer portal from Sienna if you didn't have an opportunity to come here. Somebody randomly, I don't even know, I'm trying to come up with a scenario. Somebody randomly swoops in and is like, guess what?
Starting point is 00:11:33 Louisville Cardinal. Well, it's certainly possible. You're the shooting guard. Played his ass off in that game, so maybe other colleges are calling him too. You know, but this is his home team. Yeah, I think it's got to be. I mean, this is what you do. I imagine when you're growing up.
Starting point is 00:11:48 Doing the cracked black tops of Fulton. Yeah, buddy. And Syracuse a three. Yeah. That's the dream. That's the dream. So we'll see what kind of action happens today. Hopefully things start to...
Starting point is 00:12:03 Hot. Start to move around. College men action. Good morning. Happy Tuesday. Cody, this is. the show. You are listening to K-Rock. Good Metallica song right there. Get the show on
Starting point is 00:12:18 demand. Whenever you download your favorite podcast, typing K-Rock the show and boom, there we are. I love a podcast. And a new study finds that one in three young adults are still living with their parents and the number is climbing. Lucky. Must be nice.
Starting point is 00:12:35 Stay as long as you can. Stay as long as you can. The world is hell. Who cares? Nobody can afford a house anymore. If your parents will let you live with them, live with them. No shame in that. Yeah. Like, our kids can live with us as long as they want. I don't care. I really don't.
Starting point is 00:12:49 You want to live up? I'm just saying. What, you want to move in? I mean, you want to come in, bud, get in the basement? You put plural on that. My third kid can move into the basement. Go ahead. That's it.
Starting point is 00:12:58 It's it. Get one of those little, uh, one of those little sheds with the porch on it. Drop it in my property. Go ahead. I don't care. Live there, bud. I don't know if you got power and water, but go for it. I don't need it.
Starting point is 00:13:08 Yeah. I takes a rain barrel and collects the water. Sugar says I feel pathetic living with nine. No way, dude. No joke. No shame. This is a thing. In other countries, people will live with their parents so they're 30.
Starting point is 00:13:22 Oh, pardon. Spain, Italy, all these places. It's not, it's just, it's a weird American thing where we're like, you're 18. Go away. That matters not. Now, my mother, I think, just wanted me out of the house. Well, I mean, yes. Can't say I blame her.
Starting point is 00:13:36 That's a different story. It's a different story. Of whether or not they want you out and you won't go. Yeah. Yeah. As opposed to, you know, you staying there or, you know, on a separate piece of property on the property. Like, that's all very different. A new report shows 33% of Americans between 18 and 34 are still living with their parents, the highest ever.
Starting point is 00:14:03 You can't start at 18. No, that's barely. You have to start at like 21. Yeah. All right. Now, let's see, once people are done with college-ish, let's see how many. But, okay. Number one reason is obviously money.
Starting point is 00:14:16 Everything is so expensive and wages have not kept up. Top three states with adults living with their parents is New Jersey, Connecticut, and California. Wow. Because what are they going to do? How are these 18-year-olds supposed to get out of high school and have a home? I don't want to judge parents that do that. What? Who kick you out?
Starting point is 00:14:36 Like the one we got in our chat of like, once you're... I was 17. I'm going to Florida. Bye. Get out. Like, I'm 18. team, man. I'm 18, man. What do you expect me to do? You did this. I don't want
Starting point is 00:14:47 to be here. You did this. That's what... Different circumstances. That is always the point where it's like, my children didn't ask to be brought into this. I did this. So, I guess I got to take care of them as long as they need. That would be
Starting point is 00:15:01 wicked, creepy, if we did, if we met up, we were like a weird back-to-the-future thing, and we got our mom and dad together and be like, yeah, don't you guys go hump. Mm-hmm. Go hump. Make me a person. Then I can be a real boy. Make me a person.
Starting point is 00:15:16 Yeah, I don't, I mean, I would imagine there's going to be outliers who are like 18. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They got a great job and they get their first apartment. Great. I think you're the outlier. You're kind of the overachiever right now. Yeah. He doesn't.
Starting point is 00:15:30 Go ahead. Judge away. Go ahead. Judge, yeah. Because, yeah, that's, like we said, there's circumstances, but. Oh. Yeah. Get out.
Starting point is 00:15:38 We're leaving by. North Dakota, I can't run a car. North Dakota, why you? Wyoming and South Dakota states least likely to have people living with their parents. Really? Maybe because property's cheap or you can build on your parents' land. That's what I'm saying. I would have assumed that that's what,
Starting point is 00:15:55 that they would have been like the highest because they all just stay on the same piece of property. But maybe technically they went and put a trailer or something, and built a house on their parents' land. Now we're getting wishy-washy. That still counts. Yeah. But not, I mean, not really, but still little. We built on my in-laws.
Starting point is 00:16:13 land. You know, that's, was their property. You technically don't live with them. No. So. Do what you got to do. Life is scary and we're all doing the best we can. You got to live with your parents until you're 20s and 30s.
Starting point is 00:16:26 Who cares? Who cares? Yeah, who cares? Live there and then eventually they'll retire or go into a home and then you got a house. Boom. They got snacks. Eminent domain. We always got snacks.
Starting point is 00:16:40 Tam Tam will be excited about that. Teresa Caputo coming to the landmark in November. Yeah. I've sensed. I'm sensing some kind of... Somebody had a loss. Did you... Your father, did he...
Starting point is 00:16:53 Did he die? Is he dead? Oh my God, yes. Your father's dead? Yes. Okay, good. Yes. He...
Starting point is 00:17:03 He... He was a he. And he was my father! Okay. Oh, my God. And he had intercourse with your mother to have you be the child? Yeah?
Starting point is 00:17:14 Yeah? Uh-huh. Yes. He's talking to me. from heaven right now. No, always. Said, Deb's a great like. What he said,
Starting point is 00:17:24 does Deb sound familiar? Is that a name? Yeah. Is that a name you're hearing? Yep. Yep. Okay. Uh-huh. Yep. My apologies. That hair, man. So much hair. Look up the photo of her comment of the landmark. Like it's No.
Starting point is 00:17:40 It's like a, it's drag hair essentially. Like you'd see a drag queen wearing that hair so big. Good for her. Whatever. Do your thing. And then I like, only a, a couple of his stories, but Burt's not for me, but I know a lot of people are big fans. That Burke Chrys are coming to town too. That'll be an absolute sold-out show. Is that...
Starting point is 00:17:55 Are you people love him? Am I going over my skis here? Is that... Is that a dome? No, no, no, no. He's not a dome. Where is he coming? Hold on. He's one of the biggest comedians in the world, right? Yes, he's doing very well. But they all... There's been a lot of the... There's been a lot of the big ones. So is Nate... Permission to party. Landmark. He's also a landmark. I was going to say, so is Nate
Starting point is 00:18:12 Bargatsy, and he's not at the dome. He's at the on center. Yeah. Going to see him at the Yon Center. But yeah, permission to party, October 11th of the landmark theater, Burke Chrysher. A couple things coming to the landmark. I tried to watch. I think I watched like two episodes of that show that he had.
Starting point is 00:18:28 Oh, yeah. Because I was like, all right, if he's writing. They renewed it. They renewed that sitcom he was having. No, I can definitely see why people would like it. Yeah. Oh, absolutely. But it's just his stand-up, but he turned it into somehow a show.
Starting point is 00:18:45 go. Yeah. It's very weird. Like, immediately is the shirt bit. He's riding a pretty good train of being the life of the party, that kind of situation. But, I mean, and immediately it's the shirt bit, and he's low-key trying to say that it hurts his feelings. Oh, really? You watch that part of it? Yeah. That's in, like, the first two episodes of him. I think it's Rob Lowe. Yes. All he wants him to do is take his shirt off.
Starting point is 00:19:07 Because he had the movie about that story, too, the machine. Oh, really? So he did just take that from another thing? No, no, no. That's his story. But they made a movie out of it with... I can't remember, but I know what you're talking about. Mark Hamel. Yep. Mark Camel was in it.
Starting point is 00:19:22 Yep. I didn't watch that either. I get that there's Kreischer fans. I'm not cured of yuckier, yum, as they said. I really like some of his stories. He's been in here. He was a sweetheart when he came in here. AJ made him cry.
Starting point is 00:19:32 Oh, what is he too? Because we were talking about like... God, you dads are so gay. We're so good. We were talking about... And it was that, too. That's what I figured, but... We were talking movies or something
Starting point is 00:19:44 him with him and he was, he had, I gotta find the clip. But he said there's a certain movie that makes him cry because he starts to think about missing time with his daughters and stuff. Homer bound. Yeah. There was something like that. Some, I don't know. That's hilarious. But he was in here's fine. I like the train story that he has. That's obviously, like, he was drinking vodka at 7 o'clock in the morning, so. That's a good one. I like the one where he's talking about the raffle, where he wins the raffle, all the things at the raffle. And then the very last one.
Starting point is 00:20:13 Mm-hmm. Yes, he was all right. So that's cool. Yeah. So go enjoy. There's a, again, no, the news of Syracuse. We have like four or five of the girls. There's so much to do.
Starting point is 00:20:23 Popular comedians of the world coming here. You got to just look outside of your town. Yeah. Beacon Skiff is going to be loaded this summer with everything. Oh, Beacon Skiff is getting everything, man. Every show. I know Lottie's got problems with it. We're not going to stir that up again.
Starting point is 00:20:40 But they've got everything going on over there. I'm going to see cake there this year. There's nobody. I don't know who I would want to see at a beacon skiff because they're not, you can't have, you know, a screaming band. Not really.
Starting point is 00:20:54 You want more like, Beacon skiff. It's just, it's a chill vibe, man. You want more clapping hay bands. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:59 Hey. No, don't you. Whoa. Don't you put that on me, Ricky Bobby. You want more of those. Did Dave play there once?
Starting point is 00:21:07 Never. No, like, just. Oh, like Dave and Tim Reynolds kind of thing. Yeah, because he does that sometimes.
Starting point is 00:21:13 Yeah. That'd be fun. Because I just know being up there at nighttime just walking around. I've never been to a concert there. I'm excited. It's very cool. So I imagine that with the concert around you is going to be one of the most chill vibes. Yeah, chaos says Primus was amazing there.
Starting point is 00:21:29 I bet all the concerts there. I'm excited to see Cake there. Tried to see Medoma gang last year. Then a storm round through. This year not going to happen. I don't think they're bringing knocked loose. Beacon skipping any time soon. That'd be fun, though.

Starting point is 00:22:56 I think the strangest thing is that you're waking up to snow this morning, but I digress. Well, it's the holidays. You want snow for the holidays. Yeah, so get you in the Christmas spirit. You know, we didn't say that it can't be the Memorial Day holiday coming up over a month that we're actually getting ready for. You know. Tuesdays we do high strangeness, the unexplained, the strange, the cryptid. ghosts, all that in between.
Starting point is 00:23:23 Mystery dumps in the last room. I know that people yell at me when I do too much alien stuff, but we did just go around the moon yesterday, so I shouldn't be able to do alien stuff today. And that's where they lives. That's where they lives. Duh. Now if anybody was watching the Artemis 2,
Starting point is 00:23:37 shout out to Jojo. Best joke. Is Jojo in here? Jojo's DMing me during that, because she was watching the whole Artemis 2 thing. And I was watching the whole Artemis 2 thing. And she goes, oh my God, did you see what they just sent back from the Artemis 2.
Starting point is 00:23:52 And I was like, no, I'm watching on C-SPAN. What is it? She sent a Photoshop of me on the moon that I posted on her K-Rawks' Facebook page. She got me. That was funny. That was a funny joke. That was a funny joke. That was good.
Starting point is 00:24:06 That was good. I like that. So today we go down to West Virginia to learn about the Flatwoods Monster. The Flatwood Monster is something that a bunch of kids saw in the woods and they think it still lingers in the woods of West Virginia to this day. Potentially could have come down from an alien spacecraft. We don't know. Yeah, but in West Virginia, man, they got weird things in them woods.
Starting point is 00:24:32 It could just be... Up in them hills? Could just be something that something did sex to, and there and there's that there, wolf baby. Slap Tam Mysteries is who's presenting the Twit. I got it. Cratted them. They do good work. They do good work.
Starting point is 00:24:46 Hey, Slap Tam always does fine work. Nestled amidst the rolling hills of central West Virginia lies the quaint village of Flatwoods, with a population barely exceeding 200. This sleepy town might easily escape notice on a map. Yet there's a mystique that draws thousands of curious visitors each year to this remote locale near Sudden Lake. For over seven decades, Flatwoods has held a peculiar fascination for people worldwide, and it all stems from an event that unfolded on a fateful September 12th. in 1952.
Starting point is 00:25:21 A bizarre occurrence so inexplicable that it etched itself. So Cody's referencing the image that you saw. That's the Flatwoods monster. They're going to describe it. It's between 7 and 17 feet tall. It has big red glowing eyes and like a big spade-looking thing around its head. Yeah. What the hell?
Starting point is 00:25:39 A fabric of local lore, captivating minds far beyond the boundaries of this tiny community. On a serene Friday evening at 715, The tranquil atmosphere of Flatwoods, nestled in the picturesque Appalachian region, was shattered by a spectacle that would etch itself into the local lore for decades to come. Five young boys, Neil Nunley, Ronnie Shaver, Tommy Hire, and brothers Ed and Freddie May were innocently playing in their schooly yard as dusk descended upon the town. Suddenly, the sky erupted in a burst of crimson brilliance akin to a Fourth of July display.
Starting point is 00:26:23 mesmerized the boys watched as a luminous object streaked across the heavens before crashing onto the farmland of G. Bailey Fisher. Driven by curiosity and perhaps a hint of youthful bravado. The boys dashed towards the source of the mysterious crash. I mean, you see a spacecraft go down? Do you go towards it? Yeah. And I go towards it, too. And I don't even have youthful bravado.

Starting point is 00:27:22 Hurons the nuts. Emerging onto a wooded expanse atop the hill, their eyes were drawn to a surreal sight. A colossal ball of fire pulsating and hissing ominously in the distance. Oh, boy. Their awe quickly turned to terror when Eugene Lemon made a chilling discovery. Looming before them was a towering humanoid figure. It's piercing eyes glowing in the darkness with a head resistant.

Starting point is 00:28:20 unearthly visitor you're never going to find it no ascended upon Flatwoods that fateful evening. The initial buzz about the other worldly encounters in Flatwoods, West Virginia, was sparked by local newspapers. Kathleen, Eugene, and the boys wasted no time in sharing their spine chill. That's all of their sketches. They all drew the exact same thing. They all independently saw the same exact thing.
Starting point is 00:28:44 If you're just tuning in, this is the mystery of the Flatwoods monster. Weird, bro. Twitch and YouTube stream, you can see the visuals we're talking about right now. All five of the boys were asked to draw what they saw. saw, and that's their drawings. They saw the same thing. ...inciding with A. Lee Stewart, an editor at one of these papers. Stewart was so struck by the palpable fear emanating from the witnesses that he ventured to the farm, armed, astounded by the intensity of their terror. His report in the newspaper
Starting point is 00:29:11 described the group as the most terrified individuals he had ever encountered. From there, the story gained momentum, capturing the attention of national radio stations and newspapers, with even a Pittsburgh paper sending a reporter to investigate. CBS News went a step further, inviting Kathleen and Gene to share their extraordinary tale on national television in New York City. In an astonishing turn of events, the Flatwoods monster ranked number 11 on the list of top news stories of 1952 by national press agencies. Top 11! Holy cow!
Starting point is 00:29:43 Curiosity Seekers, two Flatwoods was overwhelming, drawn by the desire to meet the witnesses is firsthand or catch a glimpse of the spot where the extraterrestrial visitor had purportedly appeared. Among those intrigued by the phenomenon was Ivan T. Sanderson, a renowned biologist with a penchant for investigating legendary beings and paranormal phenomena. Sanderson and his team journeyed to Flatwoods to delve into the story and share their insights. Meanwhile, local writer Gray Barker began compiling accounts of the Flatwoods alien, culminating in a seminal article titled The Monster and the Saucer, published in Fate Magazine in January 1953. Oh, Fate Magazine.
Starting point is 00:30:26 Further cementing the creature's enduring legacy. Barker, who later popularized the men in black conspiracy theory, contributed to the lasting fascination with the Flatwoods monster. Over the decades, periodic media coverage kept the story alive, culminating in Freddie and Ed May's appearance in the 2018 documentary, The Flatwoods Monster, a legacy of fear. You can watch that on YouTube, by the way. Just type in the Flatwood Monster and you'll see the whole documentary. Only a couple minutes left of this.
Starting point is 00:30:53 Slapped Ham Mysteries giving us a recount of the Flatwoods Monster. I don't heard of that. They reiterated their unwavering belief in the extraterrestrial encounter they witnessed as young boys. Today, a simple online search reveals a trove of videos, articles, and stories dedicated to the Flatwoods monster, highlighting the enduring appeal of the alleged encounter. Certainly skepticism has always been a companion to the legend of the Flatwoods Monster. monster, as with many UFO-related accounts. From the moment Kathleen and the boys recounted their eerie encounter, doubt emerged.
Starting point is 00:31:26 Some of the West Virginia State Police officers openly ridiculed the story, particularly noting the discrepancies and the witness's descriptions of the creature's size, which varied from 7 to 17 feet. They're kids. They don't know the height? Yeah, they don't know. Seven to 17? I don't know how tall things are from a distance. 500 feet.
Starting point is 00:31:46 The U.S. Air Force tasked. With investigating UFO reports under Project Blue Book from 1952 onwards, found no evidence to support extraterrestrial visitation. Sure. In their analysis of the Flatwood's incident, they dismissed the notion of a monster, attributing the large, luminous eyes to a barn owl, whose silhouette, they argue, could create the illusion of a humanoid figure. Their explanation extended to the mysterious red light observed in the sky, which they deemed
Starting point is 00:32:17 likely to be a meteor seen across multiple states that night, including as far as Baltimore. In 2000, the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry echoed this perspective, endorsing the barn owl theory following a thorough investigation led by skeptic Joel Nicol. Nickel and his team pointed to various owl-like characteristics in the descriptions provided by the witnesses, such as the creature's movements and talents, suggesting that the monster was nothing more than a misidentified bird. Furthermore, the lingering symptoms experienced by some witnesses, including nausea and throat irritation, were attributed by skeptics to possible hysteria rather than any supernatural cause. Further, casting doubt on the extraterrestrial narrative surrounding the Flatwoods monster.
Starting point is 00:33:04 They're trying to claim it was an owl. Well, then they have another problem that they have the biggest damn owl. Yeah, that's the part that I get hung up on it. The kids thought it was between seven and 17 feet. Then you have another problem. You have a giant ass owl out there in those woods. Although the thing looks like Orko, one of he-man's friends. Oh, he does. He does look kind of like it.
Starting point is 00:33:23 That's funny. Yeah. So I don't know, man. All those kids saw the same thing out in the woods in the 1952. Called it the Flatwoods monster. Nickname is Braxie for some reason. You can visit that part of West Virginia to go to Braxie museums and different part of the flatwoods monster exploration.
Starting point is 00:33:43 they still do down there. They're making a little money on a couple of them. And a little town like that, they have to make that as real as possible. That's the biggest thing that ever happened to that town. You're not going to Flatbush? Flatwoods. Flatwoods.
Starting point is 00:33:56 Oh yeah, Flatwoods monster. You're not going there because. This is why I keep trying to bring a cryptid to my town, Phoenix. I'm trying to bring in the Swiga County something. Yeah, there's got to be something. Like the canal monster or the lock one monster or something. There's nothing from that area of like a. Not that I know of, although my in-laws would know,
Starting point is 00:34:16 because they run the, well, they're part of the scruple historical society, if you will. Some stupid, like, big lizard. I got to find something, because it's a cash cow, dude. Oh, yeah, like a monkey that's escaped from someone's house in the 70s, and it was... It still lingers the woods of Penn Othill, that kind of thing? Because it found things to make it super monkey.
Starting point is 00:34:40 And then I just got to go out there and act like, I just saw the monkey, you guys. and I got to make videos to keep it alive, keep it going. You got to get one of your kids to put on a monkey suit and run through the woods. Kids, go put on your monkey suit. No. I don't want to.
Starting point is 00:34:53 Well, you're going to be the... We got to keep our, uh, scruple. The scruple scruple saskatch, we got to keep the scruple saskatch mystery alive. I don't want to dress as a scruple saskatch. Well, then we can't afford to get you school clothes this year. Oh, can you just be a scruple saskwatch and I'll tape? That doesn't fit me.
Starting point is 00:35:13 I don't fit in the costume. It's a little guy. It's a little super scruple saskwatch. Not full grown scruple sats squash yet. I need you to go run down Main Street for me so I can get footage and people's cameras can pick it up. I need you to sprint through traffic. Just a little. Act like you're shocked that you made it out into the city and then run right back into the woods.
Starting point is 00:35:32 And then the next day on all the community chats are all going to be saying what popped up on my ring doorbell last night. Must be the scruple saskwatch. Next morning. Penneville pine monster. Pedaville Pine Monster Next word Pedaville Pine Monster Turns out to be a hoax

Starting point is 00:37:43 don't make a donation to the charity and take these old things that we have so much of. We have so many little drink holders and Galaxy hats and random things. Make room for stuff. We'd even have things that are, there'd be a little more higher ticket price that can, you know, be auctioned off type deal.
Starting point is 00:38:02 Old wrestle cues posters, just stuff we have extras of. Yeah. That's an idea coming up for the summertime is a A silly garage sale. You guys pay what you want and help us clean out her closet. Clean it out of closet. Well, this is Cody's group. Cody would love this.
Starting point is 00:38:19 Where your cruise ship runs a ground on an island that happens to be the same island. Tom Hanks filmed Castaway on. I saw that headline. That's weird. I agree with that. Like, all right, well, I guess so I guess you're here forever. Find a volleyball. I have a, as someone who is an indoor kid,
Starting point is 00:38:39 Yeah. I love the idea of survival and like being outside and surviving in the woods. Okay. And especially island survival. One of my favorite video games ever is stranded deep where you're stuck on an island and you've got to like build your own. It's a little outdated now. I would love anybody got any new like island survival video games I could play? That's just scary for me.
Starting point is 00:38:59 Blue Lagoon Cruises struck a reef on Saturday at Fiji's Manori Island. The same island Tom Hanks filmed Castaway. on. Cruise line stated that the calm anchoring conditions rapidly deteriorated when a severe squall caused the ship's anchor to drive towards a reef where it became grounded. Cruise response time was limited due to the sudden winds. It sounds like all the passengers, 30 passengers, 30 crew were able to get off onto a ferry and go back to some certain port. All right. Well, I mean, that. But like, take the water element out of it. Would you like to be on a deserted island?
Starting point is 00:39:41 Would you like that? I mean, as a kid that, you know, played in the woods a ton growing up. Mm-hmm. Well, there's no different than the woods. It'd be neat. I don't want to try to really survive. Yeah, I was going to say, is it like a ha-ha-ha,
Starting point is 00:39:56 I'm just going to go there and we're going to just hang out a couple hours. Let's see what's on the island. However, everything is, you know, you don't get anything and it's just uninhabited or whatever. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. That'd be fun. like adventuring,
Starting point is 00:40:11 I guess is what I'm saying. I like exploring islands. I always want to go in those random islands that are in the river. Right. The Fulton Island, I want to go in the... All that would be awesome. There's an island near the Heminville Bridge I want to go on.
Starting point is 00:40:24 There's a bunch of random places like that. I would love to explore that you can't regularly get to. Get on there and see what's going on. Oh, absolutely. But I also don't care for the heat, so I don't want to be in a hot island where I'm 110 degrees. Yeah, but you got... The most gorgeous beaches just go take a dip.
Starting point is 00:40:42 True, that's true. I'm relaxed now in the nice waters of the Fiji Islands. Because if you were in the Fiji Islands, isn't that like super clear water? You would swim in that for a while, right? Well, I would go. It's like pool water. I would go from the sand in. I'm not going from the boat.
Starting point is 00:40:59 No, no, no, no, no. But I would walk in, like I would put my ankles in and kind of look around for stuff. Because sharks go right up to there. They'll bite your feet right off. What's your limit? If you're like, you're walking in anybody water, waist deep? It depends. Because like, Verona, when I'm out there, I'll go.
Starting point is 00:41:16 You'll go all the way? I'll go pretty far, and then I get scared. Yeah. He's got to turn around and come back. Well, there was that one time, I got, had to be way out there because Jughead took off and went swimming out that way. And he got out where we couldn't touch. And then he started a freak and started to use me as a flotation device. And I was like, I'm more scared than you are.
Starting point is 00:41:36 Oh, my God. Yeah, that is your nightmare. But yeah, that's, I prefer not. I just, I kind of like, like a here. Like right here, I'm in control kind of. Like chest deep, yeah. Yeah. I can kind of see things.
Starting point is 00:41:49 And then, but if it's fun, you know, I'm about the quick little dip. I forget where we were, but we went to one of those islands where it's like super clear blue water. That's so neat. And it's almost weirder because then you do see the fish. Yeah, you can see everything. Like everything just swimming around you and they don't care. No, they're like, we live here. Yeah, this is our house.
Starting point is 00:42:05 You're in our house right now. You're annoying. almost better when you can't see it and just not know right and you don't know that they're right there biting your toes oh ho ho ho ho ho it's nibbling away bud so into this artemus two mission cocoa i always forget this is how it starts because it scares he was like oh my god well what's happening i was watching it for hours yesterday where are they showing this it was not all the news like uh CNN did a special that started at six oh okay and they had like uh Jake tapper was with Bill Nye and Neil deGrasse Tyson
Starting point is 00:42:41 and all these like smart science people. Bill Shatner was on for some reason. Well, he was bending in space. But I think, but William Shatner, I think he thought they were going to land on it. He kept bringing that up. He's 95. Oh, really?
Starting point is 00:42:53 Well, well, they get there. Well, he kept saying, like, when they land they're going to be covered in dust. There's going to be all kinds of dust when they end it. Poor guy. And that one corrected him, because it's an old man. Yeah, let them do it. So NASA was on Twitch.
Starting point is 00:43:08 NASA is streaming on YouTube. right now. Nothing's really going on. They're just floating in the air. But last night, astronauts made history by traveling the furthest distance humans have ever traveled, bro.
Starting point is 00:43:24 A total of 252,756 miles. Yo, yo, wait, wait. Zer's saying, dude, they got gone, bro. They got higher than anybody.
Starting point is 00:43:38 Buddy on history, bro. And it was like, we all knew it was going to happen, because you knew they were going to lose contact for a while. Still, though, man. But with that camera cut out and went to blue screen? And that's just what happened. It just was like. Just over.
Starting point is 00:43:55 It was just over. Like, you could see in the capsule, and they all had their lights out. They had their interior lights out so they could get better photos of the moon. Yeah, yeah. And they're like, all right. At any time now, we expect it. And it went off.
Starting point is 00:44:09 Did they get any? anything good though on their cameras? I can show you the first photos. I mean, was there anything? Did they like find like, whoa, look at this huge crater that we never knew was there. Or look at here's a river. I'm showing Twitch and YouTube right now. That's literally the first photos of the far side of the moon.
Starting point is 00:44:27 They were sent back last night. And I can zoom in too. Like, look, I can zoom in. That's the far side of the moon, dude. You're looking at it and Twitch and YouTube right now. What? Are you uncomfortable? What just happened?
Starting point is 00:44:43 Why is it Earth? It's not Earth. That's Earth. Is that water, though? Can anybody tell me, is that water? I don't know. I don't know. There's not water on the moon, right?
Starting point is 00:44:55 No. Am I stupid? No, that was the whole point. Why does it look like that? That's the far side of the moon, dude. Right there. You're looking at it. The first photos ever sent back from the far side of the moon.
Starting point is 00:45:08 Bro. showing different craters that we've seen. Dash! The moon! Now it was super cool because the way, and I didn't understand, I guess, how the moon worked very well, but the reason they timed it when they did is because the sun, the moon was basically between the earth and the sun.
Starting point is 00:45:31 And we were going around the far side of the moon, also known as the dark side of the moon, but it isn't technically dark. It's dark because we can't really get there. Yeah, yeah. And the sun was illuminating this side of the moon, so we were able to get the first photos of it from like 1970. The astronauts were sending back photos of this moon,
Starting point is 00:45:50 but like the Earth was a crescent. Did you see that? Oh, that was creepy, dude. No, no. It was creepy. I'm seeing everything right now for the first time. Yeah. I didn't see any of this.
Starting point is 00:45:58 Crew briefly lost contact for about 40 minutes as they took these images. Whoa. It's given off creepy vibes of like, when Earth was crusted over by the rock people. Right? Look at it. After completing the lunar flyby, the Artemis 2 has now begun its trip back to Earth.
Starting point is 00:46:20 They're expected to land off the San Diego coast around 8 p.m. on Friday. Wow. Yeah, dude. Oh, good. Ran off San Diego Coast where all those great white sharks are. That's fine. He'll be in a capsule, though. Don't worry about it.
Starting point is 00:46:32 Oh, that's fine. D. McStraussain, let me see the flag. Where's the flag? Where's the flag? I don't know. Yeah, exactly. They would need to be closer than that. But look at all of these.
Starting point is 00:46:42 That's so neat. I think there were 4,000 miles from the moon. So they didn't really, I mean, I can really see a flag from that far away. But look at all these craters that we've never seen, dude. Yeah, they're just getting beat to F. We didn't have the high quality. And Bill Nye was saying this on CNN last night. He was saying, you can see all these craters.
Starting point is 00:47:01 And this is what killed the dinosaurs. Like, there was a moment in time that the moon. and Earth were obliterated by this asteroid storm ours have all washed away because of erosion here on the earth because we have water to kind of smooth out our craters but looking at the moon right here
Starting point is 00:47:18 that's the asteroids that killed the dinosaurs. Isn't that nuts? Jerks! Isn't that nuts? Jerkholes. We are now expected to become a two planet species. What? Setting up different bases and stuff
Starting point is 00:47:34 similar to like the The base we have in Antarctica, they're going to put one up there. But on the moon! It's on the moon, dude. It's on the moon. See, I think that's where we get everybody's hopes up in, you know, chickens before the egg. What? We didn't even land there yet other than, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:47:54 Like, no, we are now a two planet species of it. No, no, no, hold on. Let's wait just because you flew by it. You know what I mean? What is all that, though? What is the blue stuff? Everybody's smarter than me now with that blue? loose to...
Starting point is 00:48:06 Someone said sun reflecting off of things. Oh, it is. But even still, look what it looks like, though, just when it's, like, lit up in the different areas there are, because there's still different areas with the colors. I just cannot imagine being in a capsule with no contact with Earth on the other side of the moon. Like, look at, zoom in a little, like, those two big holes right underneath that. Like, are those, like, crater holes as well?
Starting point is 00:48:36 Everything's a cradle hole essentially, yeah. Look at that white one right in the middle of the screen almost. Right there? That, oh, I didn't even see that one. Yeah, is that a whole crater hole? And then right, you're almost right there. Yeah. Like, what is that?
Starting point is 00:48:47 Look how big that is. It's got a bleached butthole up there, dude. You guys ever just think about the moon, though, man? It's wild. These images are wild. That's, I mean, I love space. I don't understand anything about it. I don't know how anything works.
Starting point is 00:48:59 That's the craziest picture I've ever seen. But it's fascinating. That's the craziest picture I've ever seen in my whole life. That's the first photographs of the far side of the, Our side of the moon being sent back to us last night. They were all processed overnight and that's it. Right there on our Twitch channel. Wow.
Starting point is 00:49:13 This just blows your mind. Blow your balls out of your pants. It really did. Can't understand it. No, it really did. It was there with Best Coast. I was just explaining to Cody that that's a 14-year-old song. That's crazy, bro.
Starting point is 00:49:53 That TikTok decided that it's going to pop off again. I love that about TikTok, whereas it's like, as people who have been, I guess, technically in the music business for as long as we have. There's such a process to like, hey, here's this artist. You should listen to this artist. Maybe play them. Can you give them spins or whatever?
Starting point is 00:50:12 TikTok is just like democratized music. They're like, no. They found it. They use it as a background thing. We like this song right now. I don't care how old it is. What's it being used for? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:50:22 They're just using it for different TikTok videos. Just videos? Yeah. I don't know if there was like a silly dance or something. It's like the second best charting Weezer song of their history now. as a TikTok. Shout out, man.
Starting point is 00:50:35 That is pretty sweet. Bascoast's isn't even a band anymore. Really? Yeah, Bethany. Oh, wow. The girl's voice. Yeah. She keeps posting videos of like,
Starting point is 00:50:44 when you're no longer in a band and just raising your family, but your 12-year-old song is suddenly popular again. That's wicked funny. No, I remember them playing around here a mass load. Yeah, they were big back then. They were at the Westcott all the times. We're big back then.

Starting point is 00:53:31 So none of you would make this error, but I'm just going to put the PSA out there, Cody, and hope that it trickles down to the ears that need to hear it. Uh-oh. When you are at a stoplight and you are the first car at the stoplight, okay? You need to be on high alert. You need to put your phone down. You need your hands at 10 and 2, and I want you. Watching that light, you got a, like, it is a drag strip.
Starting point is 00:54:05 Randy Moss is on the other side. He's what you're saying. The last week. And you're the DB. The last week, dude, at least 10 different times, I have been a row of cars where the light turns green. I get it. And some bojo in the front is looking at their phone or they're distracted. And then we are all sitting there waiting for you, bud.
Starting point is 00:54:29 And then God forbid. You do the lightest you can. Whatever. You are, I had to let you know. We're sitting in traffic. Angie is right. You are a pack leader.
Starting point is 00:54:45 Maybe you didn't choose this role. You were handed this role. You fell into this role. You didn't know you'd be front in line. But you've been given this role and that comes with great responsibility. And I need your phone down. I need your eyes up. I need your hands on 10 and 2.
Starting point is 00:55:03 I need you ready as soon as that hits green. It's to be moving. It's that and the same as the, it goes right along with the when you're in that line and you're pulling up to it. Get up to the car behind or in front of you. Close the gap. Always close the gap. How many, just even yesterday.
Starting point is 00:55:21 Always close the gap. Out here outside of Walton Street here, when you turn on to West Fayette, I don't know what's been going on lately with jackholes. Just spread way out. I had some ladies just, she stopped to where there were three to four car lengths in front of her to where I could pull out and go, you know, and then I actually take my right right here. So I started to do it. That's when she decides to look up from her phone and lunge at me and then slam on her horn. And I'm like, you left four car lengths.
Starting point is 00:55:55 Yeah. Yeah. Again, that's what happens when you assume you make an ass out of you and me. But like get up there to begin with. You don't need to pick up your phone and stop in the middle of the road. And maybe this has been a problem forever. It's just never impacted me directly. But now it's starting to really irritate me to a point where it's been like 10 different times in the last week.
Starting point is 00:56:15 No, it's been almost like a year of some of the worst drivers between people not paying attention. It lights, not closing the gap. And then now that as soon as you mentioned that, almost were the BS Cleveland left thing. Oh, the Pittsburgh left? The Pittsburgh left that, I say this. You don't know the Pittsburgh left. Let me explain it. Before Cody rants on you.
Starting point is 00:56:36 When you were at a stoplight, cars over there. Across from you, you're here. Yes. I first heard this happen in Pittsburgh and now it's making its way to C&Y. Oh, it's here. Oh, it's here. The proper approach is your left turn has to wait till that late. Straight goes first.
Starting point is 00:56:53 Forever. Not anymore. People are trying to rip that left turn before you can even get up to speed. So go ahead. And I can tell you this is reckless as it sounds. Yeah. When else is not in my car, I am trying to then gun it at you. He wants to total that car, you guys.
Starting point is 00:57:08 That is 100% no fault at mine. I'm going straight and a guy tries to take a left in front of me. Nope. Smash. I mean, now that I just put it out there, I'm trying, I'm sure that'll. There's still a fault. But you know what I mean? Like, I'm obviously not trying to, you know, head on, a collision of a car.
Starting point is 00:57:24 But I'll, I'll, little gas so that person does a, and every single time, then they shoot you. Like, you just tried to kill yourself. We are all a society. We are working together. I need your eyes on the lights. Some of you, some of you need to pay more attention to your right on reds, meaning if there's no sign that says you can't go right on red, you got to go right on red, bud. And I get some. We're all right here.
Starting point is 00:57:51 There's sometimes people don't want to. You're nervous. And you don't have to. If it's wide open or there's like 80 cards. that are all trying to do it behind you. Mm-hmm. Then you're going to have to get a little more comfortable behind the wheel. Get a little more comfortable.
Starting point is 00:58:05 My uncle does that. Well, you won't turn right on red? He does not care. Well, you can't. Too bad for you. Because it's not a law. You can't in some cities. Like, there's some cities where a blanket law is you can't go right out of red.
Starting point is 00:58:17 So people just might be used to that. I read on red even when there's a sign. If there's no cars, you don't get to then to, oh my God. You don't get to Botox Murray. I mean. Whoa! You don't get to Skeleton Maria Shrach. Anyway, sorry, we got distracted by the TV.
Starting point is 00:58:36 You don't get to skeletor. I mean. Also, you need to be aware of when you might have a green arrow. Specifically, I can get hyper-local. We'll get hyper-local. The four-way stop right there in front of where timeless tattoo used to be in Beaville. Yeah. That four-way stop?
Starting point is 00:58:51 Which way am I going? You're going to be going. Timeless on my left? Timis is on your right. Thomas is on my right. I'll pass pizza man. I'm going to take a right to go to sales. You're going to take a right to go to sales.
Starting point is 00:58:59 Okay. There is a green arrow there. Okay. But you'll be sitting there at the red light and the bojo in the front's not paying attention that they're going to get a chance to go green there. Yep. And we're all sitting here. Yep. We're all sitting here because you can't be bothered to pay attention.
Starting point is 00:59:16 You have been thrust into a leadership role. Yep. You are now the PAC leader. You are the line leader in kindergarten. You have a certain obligation to the rest of us drivers. It's to be ready to go. There is something that's gone on in the last year or so where it's like lawless out there. It's just lawless.
Starting point is 00:59:37 People are flying around you. I mean, I can't even explain how many times me and a giant group of us have been passed on Fayette over near Ponchitos and up and down this road by a car that just wants to go around to eight people for no reason. Yep. Yep. Like, bro, that's your death wish. It's always some Nissan Ultima going 80 on four ball tires, three ball tires and a donut. Yep. With the right rear quarter panel completely missing, three different paint colors,
Starting point is 01:00:10 and they're just ripping to their death. And you're like, I'm not dying because of you. No. Or just the reckless people that can't really grasp that 690 both ways is a little wonky over here now in Syracuse. Yep. It's just, nope, it's lawless. I don't have to wait for your yield. John is asking, Josh, what is a bojo?
Starting point is 01:00:30 That's an insult they use them back to the future. Yep. Probably it's not one that's common. I'll make it popular. You bojo, those don't work out water. I completely forgot until I just said that over on 690. I saw on Saturday somebody nailed the, like one of the roadwork signs when they were supposed to be coming up on the 690 there.
Starting point is 01:00:50 And they just launched themselves at it. I was like, that's not a yield. Garbage can and chat says, if you don't have space to get through the interstate, do not end the intersection. Enter the intersection. So what do you mean like cars are backing up? Like they're like, oh, no, I can't get through the intersection. Or just that where you're going to just stop there.
Starting point is 01:01:07 Now you've created a clogged intersection in certain spots. Like it's, oh, it turned red. And I also get mad at people that don't claim the intersection, meaning when that lights turning yellow, you can still claim the intersection and get your left. You got to be brave. Got to be brave here. Yep.
Starting point is 01:01:24 Don't slam on your brakes and just wait because you're nervous. All right? No. It gets, it's weird. And everybody should get a dash cam because there's people out there trying to scam. I really would like a dash cam. Just because of the things I see in the morning of people driving and just whipping around, especially driving down here in the city different parts of times a day.
Starting point is 01:01:43 Oh my God. It's the end of my rant. It's the end of my rant. I'm just saying line leaders. Yep. Pack leaders. Be paying attention. You have an assignment.
Starting point is 01:01:52 Please pay attention. Come hang with us Friday morning at Brur, Union. for our diner tour stop number two, driven by Berdick BMW, Brewer Union in Brewerton, just off route 81. Before you go get your fishing done for the day. Oh, yeah. People would be heading out and doing all that soon. I texted you and Hambone last night during Raw,
Starting point is 01:02:15 because CM Punk came out just with a pipe bomb, and I didn't know if he was doing a heel thing or what. Well, I started it, but it was national championship night. Uh-huh. And I was very invested in the game. so I had a little time so I started raw just to see what we're new and punk came out sat down in the middle of the ring like that I went nope got to pay attention he's about to do something so I went back watching you know whatever and then I saw you text me
Starting point is 01:02:43 and I went I was like what is this I went and started it and recorded the game yeah so I was like they're going to follow the crap out of each other at the end so I'll have plenty of time to fast Ford. And he, that was a good one, man. He took shots and everybody. I can't play the audio. Unfortunately, you have to go watch it yourself. It's just, yeah, go watch it. It's better when you see him. I can read you some quotes. He said he films TV shows and movies without taking time off, but Raines leaves for months at a time. He called the Rock, a former Hollywood superstar.
Starting point is 01:03:15 That stated quote, my bloated cousin isn't on the board of directors. I don't surround myself with wise men or advocates. My daddy wants me. wasn't a pro wrestler who gave me a favored job because I sucked at football. Wow. Yeah. They can't control me, he said. You can't blackball me. They can't blackball me.
Starting point is 01:03:33 Yeah. He took some shots because the Rock one wasn't just, he didn't just be like, yeah, you're a crappy movie star. He called him a star and then made a point to be like, well, used to be. Yeah, used to be. He's just not really successful now. Called Pat McAfee. Pat Magavie said he's a no brain Hillbilly.
Starting point is 01:03:55 Well, he says someone who kicked a football for a living to come to my business and talk about me. Talk to me about selling tickets and putting asses in seats. You got a receipt coming for you. And calls out that line about his agent. Well, oh yeah, he said to his agent. Tell him to lower the ticket prices for WrestleMania.
Starting point is 01:04:13 Yeah, tell him that agent that shoehorned you into the business. So he's taking shots at ESPN, TKO. Because everyone's been complaining about WrestleMania. It's going to be the lowest attended ever. It's that and it's everything. He's talking about everything. The fact that it's costing wrestling fans who put this business on the effing map. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:04:33 So much money just to watch the main events in WrestleMania's of the things that they've supported their whole lives is assonine. What they've done to the house shows to make families have to pay so much. Again, the families that have put this business on the map by putting it on their backs during COVID and all that crap. to do this to them. Yeah, it's TKO and right much they can do, but there's a lot they can do and should be doing. Taking shows to Saudi Arabia. The blood money BS.
Starting point is 01:05:01 Being in Vegas, two years in a row. The Netflix crap, the YouTube crap, the SPN crap, the peacock crap. Like, enough, man. You get it. You're bleeding us try. And again, we're not thinking of the billionaires. Like, holy cow. Fourth wall, did they do this so that punk could kind of voice some of the fans' concerns?
Starting point is 01:05:19 It could be. I also think it sounds like they're, maybe setting up some really weird, longer-term storyline with a lot of these guys with Rock and Cody and... And... And... Susan's excited that CM Punk's going to be in a Netflix movie with Jared Padalecky. There you go. Next Christmas.
Starting point is 01:05:37 Next Christmas. And then he dropped a couple of Vince lines... I don't have the Vince quote. I don't remember him. Where he talked about you being a Nepo baby that ate dog food for a weird old man. Yes, that's right. He did say that. Wow.
Starting point is 01:05:49 Oh, boy. Oh, boy. Wow. Because again, this all works out so well because CM Punk is the one that created the shield. And he didn't want Roman. It was supposed to be Mox, Seth, Chris Hero, and Vince. Like this thing, it's just both main events. All these matches are writing themselves.
Starting point is 01:06:13 This is an amazing WrestleMania season. He said he doesn't care that Rain hates him. Raines hates him because he won't trade his authenticity for approval. That was wild It's a great line, dude It's a great line Yep And then you wonder what
Starting point is 01:06:26 Because again Yes Triple H knew some of this There I'm sure there was like So any idea you're gonna Kind of say But most of it is just Triple H in the back going
Starting point is 01:06:36 I'll ask for forgiveness Yeah I'll ask for forgiveness Well what's Vince gonna do He doesn't know anything anymore No for TKO No the Vince stuff I don't think they
Starting point is 01:06:45 Yeah Who knows what that is Go watch the whole thing man It was incredible It was really good It was incredible. It was cool. I like when they blur the stuff into real life.
Starting point is 01:06:55 Mm-hmm. Because again, they told him to go out there and shoot from the hip. And he definitely is good at that because that was one of the best punk promos in a while. What he's great at is doing those, man. That was incredible. Go check it out for yourself. It's on all the YouTube stuff. Sugar, sugar.
Starting point is 01:07:14 What are you laughing at? No, you can get in the two meals. You can get like a French toastick and a hash. brown or french toastick and then i they have uh it's just the croissant with the egg and cheese and that always makes me go because of that noise a squeaky egg no when michael eats that in the office where he makes ryan bring him the sandwich and he doesn't want the carbs so he gets rid of the bun and he just eats the egg and the cheese because he has a microphone he bites down and he just hear like a yeah that's right okay mushy egg and cheese and every time i hear it i'm like oh they really
Starting point is 01:07:46 bit into that did you try to oh you can't get a burger yeah so won't like you'll like you can't get a burger yeah so won't let you look. No, and let me look. That's what I was peeking. We were talking during that song there that for a brief time, and maybe I'm doing something wrong, the Burger King app would let you do a burger. Yeah. And then instead of fries, you could get chicken fries. Yep. Which is honestly, Burger King fries. Probably my favorite fast food fries. Oh, really? I think so. I think so. I think so. I think so. But I also love their chicken fries, so I would always get like a burger and some chicken fries.
Starting point is 01:08:18 And then I haven't able to do that. I wanted to get the chicken sandwich and the chicken fries and put the chicken fries on the chicken sandwich. Chicken chicken sandwich. I like to do a thing. I like to do a thing I call the farmhouse where I get a beef sandwich and then a chicken side. Okay. Sandwich and then a chicken side. So if I go to like McDonald. Yeah, I get order the farmhouse.
Starting point is 01:08:39 I got to get the farmhouse. You name right. And then I get high sea orange because that's like off the orange tree. It's the grove. It's the grove. It's a shot of the grove. Can I get a farmhouse side of the grove? You get a farmhouse, side of the grove.
Starting point is 01:08:50 He's ordering diner style. I always like to have a chicken. If I've got like a burger, yeah, and then I'll get some nuggets. Yep. If I go to Burger King, I'll get the chicken fries. Because I'm having the farmhouse. Yeah, get the farmhouse.
Starting point is 01:09:00 I want to have a farmhouse. Avi. Or if I get a chicken sandwich, yeah. I got to get like a little, just like a one of the dollar menu, like. Just like a plain cheeseburger. Yep.
Starting point is 01:09:11 I got to balance it. Yeah, you got to bounce out a little bit. Speaking of McDonald's. Got to have a chicken sandwich, kiss the cow. Got to have the farmhouse. This. is our farmhouse. Lewis a little bit.
Starting point is 01:09:22 Man in Florida named Jalen Minsey was arrested for robbing a McDonald's, allegedly, on Sunday. Minzy. Police say Jalen went in, put in an order. When he got his food, he demanded free cookies. Yeah. When he didn't get the free cookies, he pushed the workers out of the way, went behind the counter. Damn right. Took the cookies.
Starting point is 01:09:41 It threw things at them. Oh. And took off with two other people's meals. Oh, see, no. Now, which anybody who has been waiting for their meal of McDonald's guys. That's it. Half an hour. Can he just grab my bag?
Starting point is 01:09:51 Because you know what? I can see them being like You want to order it again? No, he, just make it. It'll be another 15.20. All right. I got it. 1522.
Starting point is 01:10:01 Uh-huh. No, he, but you got to pay for it. Sorry, can't be free. He was tracked down and obviously later arrested at his apartment. Oh, I was I say, under a tree in the park?
Starting point is 01:10:12 Because he was probably asleep like a bear after eating three McDonald's meals. Three McDonald's meals. Um, my question for you, though, is what cookies did he want? Is it the ones that are in that? Is it the stacked fresh cookies?
Starting point is 01:10:24 Or is it the little bag and the happy meal? Those are the best cookies. Those are gone. But didn't somebody send us that those are... You can eat that flavor. There's something else, right? That tastes just like them or whatever. But, yeah, no, sometimes they're...
Starting point is 01:10:37 If you can see them just bring those cookies out, they're fresh because it takes you back. Did you have that deal in high school? What deal? Where your school store sold the cookies? No, I didn't go to a boogie-ass ESM with McDonald's cookies. No, no, no, no, they had your own. It was like Spunkmeyer or some whatever.
Starting point is 01:10:57 Oh, you can do those for fundraisers. But we had like a deal in our school store. We sold them like three for a dollar or something. You could get. Fresh hot cookies? Yeah, dude. It's the reason you boys got this belly. You've been eating them baked goods this whole life real good.
Starting point is 01:11:12 ESM was selling. Our school store. Fresh baked cookies, dude. That was one of the perks of being in DECA. And we else do DACA? What's DACA? I don't know what it stands for. Well, it was weird.
Starting point is 01:11:23 I did it because one of my best friends' dad ran it. And he was like, you'd be good at that. You should do that. And I did it. And it was like a volunteer organization? Well, the one we did was, it was like competitions. And you had to go and we went to Kazanovia and you did like a weird, I don't even know how to explain it.
Starting point is 01:11:42 You had to like propose a business to some adult. And then he asked you like, questions about, well, how would the banking work for? And it was like this weird whole presentation that me and the girl that did it had no idea what we were doing and we crushed it. And weirdly we won our little group. And then they're like, you're off to the next stage at Deca. That'll be $375 by Friday.
Starting point is 01:12:06 Your mom had to pay that? No, I was like, mom, I'm not making, that's insane. She's like, good. Deca is a non-for-profit student organization, which prepares high school and college students for careers in marketing, finance, hospitality, and management. Maybe they thought you'd be doing that stuff. I mean, we killed it. We killed it because she was, uh, uh, Adriene, that's her name.
Starting point is 01:12:27 She was brilliant. So she was smart and knew all those things. And I was still this little schmoozy guy of, hey man, let me tell you about this part. You can riff. Yeah, I get it. She's doing numbers. Yeah, cousin Jason says, I totally forgot about the ESM school store. We had a school store, didn't have fresh old as Spunk Meyer cookies.
Starting point is 01:12:43 Dude, ours was banging. We had airheads and skittles. and stuff. All those things. I forgot about it. Some of the cookies thing is what reminded me. That's why this guy was like, I need these cookies. I knew these cookies.
Starting point is 01:12:55 Yeah. Well, now he's going to go to jail for a little bit. So, you know. He's going to be having a different type of cookies. Yeah. We are going to hand you off to the 90s at 9. What? He's dancing out there.

He's got his dancing purple, sparkly shoes on today. He's got Michael Jackson shoes. He's earning his mom. money. I'll tell you that much. Right, for once.
